K. Jemisin creates a new world in “The City We Became.”
 
Emily St. John Mandel gained fame with her dystopian novel, “Station Eleven,” and her newest, “The Glass Hotel Cover” follows the creator of a Ponzi scheme and the lives he impacts.  Popular novelist, Terry McMillan, offers a view on aging, “It’s Not All Downhill from Here.”
 
The latest in the Mercy Thompson series, “Smoke Bitten,” by Patricia Briggs arrives as well as young adult best-selling author, Sarah J. Maas’s first novel for adults, “House of Earth and Blood.”
 
Other March titles are: “Trace Elements” by Donna Leon, “The Night Watchman” by Louise Erdrich, “Actress” by Anne Enright and “The Numbers Game” by Danielle Steel. 
 
April’s lists include: “Chosen Ones, by Veronica Roth. “Conjure Women” by Afia Atakora, “The Book of Longings” by Sue Monk Kidd, “Death in Her Hands” by Ottessa Moshfegh, “The Moments of Tenderness” by Madeleine L’Engle, “Redhead by the Side of the Road” by Anne Tyler, “Walk the Wire” by David Baldacci, “Afterlife” by Julia Alvarez, “Dead Land” by Sara Paretsky, “Simon the Fiddler,” by Paulette Jiles, and “Camino Winds” by John Grisham. 
 
May brings new novels from: Emma Stout, Suzanne Collins, Stuart Woods, Scott Turow, Michael Connelly, Mary Kay Andrews, Nora Roberts and Jeffrey Deaver.
 
And the newest book from Elena Ferrante, the best-selling author of “My Brilliant Friend,” is available in June entitled “The Lying Life of Adults.”
